Hasidic Levels"You use the word ‘levels.’ Are you willing to tell me the characteristics of these levels?" He nodded. "I think levels is a critical word because we find the term throughout Jewish mysticism. The word in Hebrew is called madrigot which in English is levels, and the person rises from level to level." "Could you tell me what they are?" "Well, there happen to be four different spiritual worlds. We view our world as the lowest level, or the fourth world. This is called the world of Asiyah, the world of action. The highest world is the world of Atzilut, where there is no sense of self-identity, where everything is ‘bonded to God spiritually,"’ he said. |
